No question about it take your dragon to the doctor now!!! Get the proffessional opinion and if need be the meds straight up, then come back and brag to us that whatever the problem has been fixed  Keep us posted. |

wow... i was expecting it to be in the hundreds... heh... i guess i just expect them to be expensive because i kinda like spoiling them and tend to go overboard as much as possible.

my vet charged 65 first visit that was with a shot and meds and 16 each visit after. Cronus was very ill when I got her and went in every other day for a month so it can get up in price. Just an FYI so you don't faint at the vets just in case.

Oh yes! Please get him/her to a vet. That does not sound too good. Please let us know what the vet says and keep us posted on any changes.
Good luck =)

By the brief description you posted it would be really hard for us to diagnose what is bothering your dragon even with more info. It certainly sounds serious and I would also advise taking a trip to the vet. If this is the first visit it would also be a good idea to save a fresh fecal (poop) sample to take in with you also and you can have that checked for any internal issues like parasites. My local vet cost me a bit more then dragosmom on my initail visit but the followups since then have been free (well admin of other meds cost me but only for materials) the cost for my initial visit? $35. Please keep us updated.

much to my relief the vet said it was just "bruised" (easiest way to put it) from a fall or a jump. shes actually walking a little better today... the vet did a fecal exam on the stool sample and i guess she didnt need to be wormed! so shes healthy as can be just a little sore. thank you guys for being so supportive :-) im so relieved baby is ok. i was so worried ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

My local vet office has been great and I have gotten to know both my primary vet and his daughter (he works in his own clinic and sometimes works in the one she works at also) |

To add to that , thanks so much for reporting the good news to us, so many people never tells us what happened with the pets and visits.
